The Dominican Republic one is really detailed and surprisingly accurate, down to the pig on the moto! Come visit again soon :)

Your kids need to learn how to clean up after themselves.

All you need is a camera pointing at the floor with image detection... when there's legos on the floor it triggers a video playing that explains how the kids need to pick up the legos. /s

> I removed my phone number from the account. I am travelling to the UK for a short period and did not want to have roaming on my Australian phone.

So for my own notes, removing a phone number from my Google account before travel will risk account suspension. Hope OP resolves it, but also need to make sure this never happens to me.

Damnit, now I probably have to update my vscode plugin to support Cursor 3... I mean have a coffee or go for a swim while waiting on AI to update my vscode plugin to support Cursor 3. :P

EU is way behind US in AI and doesn't have the big tech jobs after graduation. Probably best to look at US schools to answer OPs question.

If I have an in-person community that's non-tech it's enough for me to only have an online tech community. That's how it was for me growing up, and it would be great to have that again.

> Hanging out with other humans is good – and if you can’t find a community… you can always build your own.

I did just that, and built https://wonderful.dev

It's based around jobs for devs, but right now it's just a place to chat about tech.

Move away from the UK. This is a UK law forcing Apple to share your data if you live in the UK.

No, I'm talking about anyone with SS7 access basically has root on the whole network and can query for locations of any phone number anonymously... no audit trail, no access control.

Please change that now! It's the muscle memory of never typing a password that prevents you from being victim to phishing.

You should start a business for your construction projects, then use a business bank like Mercury instead of Chase and get all the nice business features.

Disappointed it didn't launch with Hooks. [0] I know this is a Beta launch, but I thought they would learn from Claude and copy. Hooks enable plugins, like https://wakatime.com/claude-code
